Description: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) represent an innovative suite of cryptographic algorithms that empower the insurance community to validate the accuracy of sensitive information without revealing the actual information itself. Mutation with the use of non-traditional data entering the insurance processes of customer acquisition and in-force management is currently taking place. A shift toward using non-traditional data in insurance customer acquisition and in-force management processes is currently taking place. This evolution is captured in the Australian market through surveys and interviews. Come and join us to learn about these two new research studies that open up the possibilities for the insurance industry to be more efficient in delivering its value to the society.

Description: The Society of Actuaries will be offering this webinar series intended to educate and investigate aspects of life insurance, annuity, and long-term care product tax compliance. Developed by the Taxation Section, participants will be brought up to date on recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance and learn about the newest tax issues related to product design and administration. Legal, IRS and product development experts will provide vital insights into the challenges of developing and administering products within the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and allow ample opportunities for questions and information exchange. The session will look to define the “Product Tax Compliance" and "Information Reporting" Operational Risks associated with the administration of life insurance, annuity, and long-term care products. Panelists from leading insurance companies will discuss practical, real-life situations that they encountered and strategies they have used for risk mitigation.

Description: Modern Actuarial work, being quite data intensive, provides many opportunities for actuaries to use the statistical skills that are part of their basic training. Furthermore, modern computing allows us to analyze vast quantities of data intensively, and each package will provide statistical 'answers' to any questions the actuary might ask of it. However, in this particular field, it is often worth taking a step back, and ensuring that we recall and consider the warnings that come with each of the statistical procedures we might attempt to use. This will allow us to ensure that we guard ourselves against drawing inappropriate conclusions, which could come back to haunt us later.At the conclusion of the session, attendees will be able to avoid drawing inappropriate statistical conclusions, while doing their work. They will leave informed about the types of pitfalls that exist, and where those might come into play in actuarial work.
